Synergistic enhancement of Sorghum bicolor nutrient uptake and growth by microbiomes in enhanced biological phosphorus removal system and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
Article in Environmental microbiome, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnderstanding soil microbial interactions is essential for developing biofertilizers in regenerative agriculture. Polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) play a pivotal role in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) systems by sequestering phosphorus from wastewater and storing it as intracellular polyphosphate. However, their role in terrestrial phosphorus cycling remains poorly characterized, despite their potential to serve as a reservoir of plant-available phosphorus. This study investigates PAO-enriched microbiomes in the sorghum rhizosphere, focusing on their novel interactions with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). By integrating PAOs derived from EBPR biosolids and compost with AMF, we assessed their synergistic effects on plant growth and nutrient uptake in Sorghum bicolor (sorghum), as well as their broader influence on rhizosphere microbial traits and functional dynamics.

conclusionsThis study explored the interactions between AMF and microbiomes derived from EBPR biosolids, in comparison with those from compost, uncovering novel microbial synergies that enhance phosphorus uptake in Sorghum bicolor and promote plant productivity. The findings underscore the potential of targeted microbial co-inoculation such as integrating EBPR microbiomes with AMF as an innovative strategy for improving soil fertility and advancing biofertilizer development through microbial-driven nutrient recycling. By harnessing wastewater-derived phosphorus via PAOs, this approach offers a sustainable alternative to conventional fertilization, supporting regenerative agriculture, nutrient circularity, and the broader application of microbial biofertilizers in crop production.
